Let's get one thing straight right off the bat...if Charter Schools provided options for poor/black/brown children, it would NOT be a top priority for Alabama republicans. Charter Schools are the vehicle republicans drive on the road to privatized public education. Although Charter Schools are funded with tax dollars, Charter Schools don't have to accept ALL children, regardless of race, income, gender, disability, or athletic ability.They can pick and choose the cream of the crop and leave the rest behind.
Alabama republicans don't care about educating poor, black or brown children today, they won't care about them tomorrow, or in the near future. IMHO, republicans consider poor, black and brown children inferior beings who don't deserve access to a quality public education. If poor, black and brown children have access to a quality education they might have a future outside of the, snark free labor market, the new Jim Crow.
Former Alabama Governor George C. Wallace may have had a death bed conversion, but today's republicans still long for the promise of Segregation today. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever via Charter Schools because it is the only way they can continue to ignore the United States Supreme Court.
